Blood test results

Hi friends,

I would appreciate some advice before I see my Endo.

I'm on combo treatment of T3 and T4 and 11 weeks ago also added in Clomifene for low Testosterone (I'm male BTW).

Things were going well at my last bloods, however things seem to be going a little backward and my weight has gone up slightly which seems to be impacting levels of Thyroid hormone.

I'm concerned that Cortisol has dropped quite a bit.

You will also note that I had my bloods at 2 different clinics with blood draws 15 minutes apart. One puts my T4 at 48% in range whilst the other shows it at 59%.

Annoyingly the phlebotomist at TLC did not take enough blood and hence T3 could not be tested which was a key data point we needed.
